You are indeed right, I hadn't noticed that - it appears to only provide file name filters. Well that is certainly a bit of an oversight on their part. Perhaps a later version will remedy that.
Well I'm glad at least Sapphic Erotica isn't intentionally blocking download resume - perhaps there is some odd incompatibility with the download manager. That was the original reason I switched over to DownThemAll! I was getting movies from German Goo Girls and they used one of those annoying "type the characters from this picture" security doodads which meant I couldn't simply give the program the username and password. Since DownThemAll! was within the browser it used the same session id and so on, solved the whole problem. On the same note, I've had some mangers bollocks up the resume ability on certain sites while other mangers would work fine on the same site. It seems like a crapshoot sometimes as to which will work.

I use the Firefox add-on "DownThemAll!" - it is completely integrated with Firefox, so I've found it to be more reliable at catching downloads than other programs like GetSmart or Download Accelerator. It is fully customizable - you can tell it the number of connections, the number of chunks for acceleration, max speeds, file filters and so on. Plus if you end up in the unfortunate situation of a site with thumbnail galleries but no zip files, you can quickly page through the gallery and have DownThemAll! rip the image URLs automatically and pop them in whatever folder you picked. All-in-all it is the best download manager I've used - it is free (though they accept PayPal donations if you are feeling generous) and it is updated pretty regularly.

I usually limit my manager to two simultaneous downloads and only 2 or 3 chunks per download max - some sites can't even manage that... But no resuming, yeesh, that would be rough. Oh well, I hope they get you a useful response.
Cheers.

Have you point-blank asked the support people about it? Usually there is some little trick to allow resuming that they'll know - because not being able to resume a download would really suck for those of us that want to be able to pause a download to free up some bandwidth for a while. (Like for online gaming, for instance.)

Indeed that is what I said: Being that the free stuff wasn't worth the time required to find anything of interest and I couldn't afford what I would be interested in, I didn't partake in porn for that period.

I took a year hiatus from porn for funding reasons - the so called "free" porn is just too much bloody work to find anything of interest and at the time I couldn't justify the monthly fees, so I basically didn't watch porn for that time period. Once the funds started returning, so did the porn.

Did you mean Naughty America's quantity of content is more than Cougars In Heat? Because you said the opposite - which to me would be all the reason in the world to charge more. As per my review I'm sure you know that I'm quite fond of Cougars In Heat. Granted there are other sites with more content per dollar, but this site delivers what it promises and messes about with different scenarios and models to keep the content fresh and interesting while staying within their niche. That is a tough feat to pull off.
I recently reviewed All Internal which is a very comparable site as it doesn't grant you access to its network of sites, is a quite specific niche and for all intents and purposes is a better site - especially technology wise (wonderful search engine, review system, et cetera). However that site gets a bit boring after awhile. As Cougars In Heat continues to grow and if they add a search engine and such - I could see rating it higher than All Internal in the future because it changes its scenarios and adds a bit of fantasy to the porn.
All in all, I honestly believe their price is justified and a good site shouldn't be put down for charging premium price when they provide premium, exclusive content.

Toadsith's Poll
I'm happy to see this poll is sparking lots of commentary and still hoping to see someone choose "Oh yes! All of it!" - the stimulus package is such a silly idea. $300 or $600, dependent on if you are single or married, is just a measly sum. I certainly believe there are only a limited number of places the money is going to go; and fancy electronics or propane grills aren't any of those places. Some people will pay bills, some people will save it and most people will blow it on the same ol' crap they always spend money on: burgers, beer and cigarettes.
I wish I could say I was going to drop $300 into porn just because it would be wildly amusing for me that my money would be sent to some Eastern European or South American porn studio rather than pumping back into the U.S. economy as the idiot political backers want. What stemmed this of course was that I had just received a notice that I was for-the-love-of-god-not-to-throw-away-because-it-tells-you-vastly-important-information-about-the-economic-stimulus-payment!! It's important message for me? Do nothing. Payment should come sometime in May. I'm floored. My life would be in tatters had I not read that notice.
So to the question at hand - will I be spending the money on porn? Sadly no - it'll be running off to bills I'm sure. Do I think it is a good idea? No. Will I take the money? Yes - they take too much of my money anyway - fighting wars for petrol and such... Am I doing my best to not use too much petrol? Well... I do have a little electronic gauge in my car that tells me how much I'm using - but I'm still running a V6 just to get to work... Yeah, still an American - oh well, maybe I'll get that British sports car I fancy and waste a little less gasoline in the future. It only costs 30 grand... yeesh. All hail porn! (For it only costs 30 buckazoids.)

While granted I think eye contact (with either the other model or the camera) is more appealing than closed eyes - I think a proper facial is still quite good as long as the model opens her eyes after the treatment. Keeping the eyes closed even after the fact moves it from being sexy to being comical quite quickly. And while I'm all for a bit of comedy now and again - I find it isn't usually the goal of the content producers.

Haha - yeah, I can imagine the explanations might get interesting. I must admit the DRM is a big pain in the ass, I too would pay more for avoiding that hassle - I dunno about twice as much, but 10 bucks more for sure!

Their entire network was DRM based when I was a member, I'd be surprised if that changes anytime soon, but there are ways around it. My favorite is a program called TuneBite. It simply records the copy protected video while it is playing. Do be sure to have turned off your screen saver and any programs that might make noise - as it'll record those noises as well. Plus it is a super processor hog - but once its done, you've got yourself the content without the DRM. It can also queue up the video files - I generally would start it recording when I went to bed, easy way to convert 10 videos.

The DRM license on your computer will expire after awhile and it will ask you for the username/pass again - it usually happened to me about once a week - sometimes 2 weeks.

Haha - well I just assumed everybody would know that the addition of another hard drive would be to house more porn. Plus with all the HD Porn sites out now - upgrading my display technology to HD would benefit that as well. On the surface - indeed the response wasn't porn related, but I think there was an understood subtext :-P

In their own way, Kink actually does provide such a deal. If you subscribe to one Kink website, you can subscribe to another of their sites at a discounted price - I think it is 15% off or something like that. Granted it isn't as much of a deal but it is something. Looking at the two companies though, I personally feel Kink is producing far superior content, so it is worth the price.

My primary rig was built in August of '06. My secondary rig (which is operable but not in use right at the moment) is a mix of parts - one of the hard drives dates back to 2001 - the cpu, mobo, memory, psu, other hdd drive and the optical drives from 2002 and the case, video card, and liquid cooling components are all from 2005.
I'll probably be replacing the psu and case of the current rig soon and add a blu-ray drive and another hard drive.

It is so much better than the term "Whore Brand", which just seems mean to me. I only recently ran across the term "Tramp Stamp" myself (maybe a year ago at most); indeed it does have a bit of a British charm to it and as some of my writing I'm sure reflects, I'm quite fond of British colloquialisms. I'm currently working through the latest iteration of Top Gear (40GB worth of it) and have run across a boat-load of new phrases and terms that I hadn't heard before. That is such a fun show - I can't wait till Season 11 comes out - though I still have a backlog of 7 seasons to finish watching first...

Oops - I missed the little defending himself part - that makes for a different point indeed, lol. But rather than counterpointing it with the killing of a million people for no reason, what about killing a million during war defending your country? (Say a somewhat understandable war like WWII) The question is always how much violence is justifiable.
A rather interesting movie called "The Fog of War", which came out a few years ago, interview the former U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara. On of the really fascinating things he showed was how lucid people can be about the atrocities they are committing. He and Colonel Curtis LeMay engineered the fire bombings of Japan during World War II - and it was incredibly effective because much of Japan was still using the wood and paper style build technology back then. Of course the fires killed indiscriminately, men, women and children - and of this Colonel LeMay said that if the U.S. lost, he and McNamara and others would be tried as war criminals. As McNamara then said: "...what makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?"

Bah - I'm saving up for a 1080p HD DLP Digital Projector - image diagonal: 100 inches! Of course the downfall to this is that the system total price, when including the screen, the projector, the ceiling mount and the extended cabling means a price tag reaching into the mid two grand.... Yes, it may be a few months before that comes to fruition. So I suppose having a 22" display today has its benefits.
No matter - Blu-Ray won, must upgrade!
Cheers!

Well now that's the funny thing isn't it? Frankly most "Monster" Serial Killers never break out of the 20's. Sure it is an individual performing this terrible acts against other individuals on a personal one-on-one basis, but really - compared to the great Generals of times past, they really are barely scratching the surface! Yet these are the people that the horror movies are made about. I think it is a matter of the blinding nature of larger numbers. You tell me: "It was ghastly, he killed 23 people." Well I know more than 23 people. I can easily think of 23 people and think of the tragedy of those 23 people getting murdered. Consequently I can make a connection with the crime and understand the horror of it.
However, if you turn around and say to me: "Ghengis Khan's army of horse riders killed 1 million people in one night." (A true fact that is.) I simply can't visualize that. I resort to cute little clips from Independence Day and the like - and the fact of the matter is Ghengis Khan never blew up the White House with a laser. So we resort to comparing it with things we do understand and here is the line of reasoning that follows: "A serial killer who killed 23 of my neighbors is quite horrible. 1 million people is frankly quite a lot more than 23. So Ghengis Khan on his laser-equipped steed is by similarity also quite horrible." Done and done.
Thus, as per your example - A man who killed a million is equally as bad as a man who killed 5. Or as a man who banged his neighbor's dog. Cause bestiality just tends to be frowned upon in the traditional communities.
Cheers.

I just went and looked up the WSJ article on the PEW Study; that is quite interesting. Though raised with a quite lax Roman-Catholic upbringing (though I did go as far as Confirmation, mainly because then I didn't have to go to church.) - these days I've settled into a happily agnostic existence. Yet I'm always somewhat fascinated at how many people are religious and to what degree they are.
For some people it seems to be a great relief, a lifting of their life's burdens by being able to apply a specific greater plan to their personal trials and tribulations. Others use it as a sense of purpose, a compass for their life and a hand-book for their behavior. Then there are the sociopaths that use it to get money and power - but that's a different crowd.
While I don't see any particular reason to believe in religion (though by its own definitions there is no reason not to either) I would never take away religion from people who gain comfort from it. That study stated that a whopping 60% of Americans consider it a very important part of their life - with the French turning in at on 12%. I guess it goes to show that our country's heritage of religious belief runs deeper than I would have imagined.
When I think about it: sure, all of our country's important documents talk about God. All of our politicians must profess an affiliation with a major religion - and of course the earliest settlers were so loyal to their religion that rather than convert they crossed an ocean. I guess I assumed interest would have wained more by now.
And back to the acceptance of differences topic line - you are quite correct, a lot of effort was put into it - the national opinion didn't drift that way on its own. There are a lot of dedicated and brave people fighting for human rights of all kinds in the US - and while much progress is left to be done, much progress has been made - and done so without the US abandoning its religions - which I think is rather interesting.
Ah, how I do love how these topics shoot off on wild tangents, lol
Cheers!

Useful review, thanks - repetitiveness in these super-niche sites is a real difficult hurdle - though I must say the unique nature of this site's content has me intrigued. I hadn't realized until today that they had gotten rid of the Token system (I know, I'm behind on that one) - I've been rather interested in the site for awhile, so I may have to join now that it has been unleashed.
I took a quick ganger (the action, not the waterfowl) at their "What's New" page and I think the best answer to your question about update regularity is one video and two photo sets per week, with a little bit of wiggle room... It would be nice if they put a date on the coming soon stuff though.

Haha, yeah fortunately things have been slowly marching toward a more liberal stance over the years. In the US there has been a number of Christian-Right moralistic backlashes and a definite recent rise in jingoism and fearmongering that has given birth to a number of attacks on basic civil liberties. Yet looking at a broader scope of time, even the US has become more accepting of differences and more liberal in its overall policy.
I wish the US Media would trade violence for sex - it is a much healthier form of entertainment and I don't see any reason I can't appreciate a nifty sun-shaped nipple shield during the super bowl half-time. While 200,000 people did complain - the other 144.2 million didn't seem to mind too much. Anyway, all the media's publicity of shootings and whatnot creates copycats - studies have shown over and over that the mentally unstable will follow trends just like the rest of us, so we really should stop giving them these ideas! More boobs, less blood - 'tis me motto.

Well if you are talking about the Old Testament (Which is what Pinche Kankun is referencing - specifically Leviticus 19:28) - freedom had nothing to do with properly worshiping God. You follow His "judgments" and His "ordinances" or face the consequences. Now granted the consequences varied - it wasn't always a death sentence (though that was indeed popular) - sometimes some flogging was sufficient.
So does it have laws? Oh yes - many, many. They sort of address porn as well - pretty much it is OK to look at a naked person as long as they are of no relation (by marriage or blood) or acquaintance to you and as long as they aren't naked with anyone they are related to (by marriage or blood) - but masturbation is right out. No touching either, just looking.
The more popular New Testament however is much kinder and many people simply ignore the existence of the Old Testament. Because, frankly, much of it is rather loopy and very violent. The Bible is such a complex work though - that nearly anything can be read into it in some form or another. It has many loop-holes and many inconsistencies - plus there are a number of neat tricks. Want to kill people? Plan on doing it in the name of God and got to a priest, they can waive you of all your killing sins before you even do them. It is quite efficient - the Crusades were fought using this method because they couldn't always bring a priest on their various quests.
The Old Testament is really worth a read, it explains so much of the violence in the Catholic Church's History - and frankly, is much more fun than the New Testament. It can get confusing though...
